A three-dimensional interpretation of Dante's Divine Comedy, where the cone's geometry mirrors the descending circles of the Inferno. Each soul drifts through the architecture of the afterlife, their position determined by reach, their motion by suffering.
The Structure:
The Motion: Souls drift, spiral, and convulse according to their depth. The lowest circles experience violent agitation—vertical drift, spiraling descent toward the center, and random spasms of torment. Population amplifies suffering.
The Narrative: The cone inverts Dante's journey—what should be a climb becomes a descent, what should be liberation becomes imprisonment. The text overlays echo Dante's original Italian: lasciate ogni speranza—abandon hope.
References:
Data: 16,382 people groups positioned by evangelical percentage (0% = deepest circle, 100% = apex). Population size affects torment intensity. Hellfire flickers from below, cold judgment from above.
